Required:
1. Compute the annual variable manufacturing overhead rate and annual fixed manufacturing overhead rate to be used to apply overhead to Work-in-Process Inventory.
2. Determine the variable overhead spending variance and the variable overhead efficiency variance for August.
3. Determine the fixed overhead budget variance and the volume variance for August.
4. Prepare the journal entry to transfer standard variable and fixed overhead costs to Work-in Process Inventory.
